 In Broadway hat store the other day the proprietor said it was an unusual thing for man to require larger hat than seven and 8 half. Among his customers were several full-grown men who wore six and one-eighth hats, 8 boys size, but the average was six and seven-eighths.
 Conspiouously displayed in this emporium is large card on which are printed in bold faced type rules for handling the hat. Gus toners are supplied with rules printed on small cards. They read:
 "If you pass lady, though stranger, in tEe hall of hotel or on the stair, if you do her any little service such restoring her fan or glove, or if she makes any inquiry of you, or you of her, raise your hat. "A gentleman walking with en acquain- tance raises his hat to those persons whom his friend salutes, but does not bow. 'Gentlenen remove their hats in hotel ele- vators when ladies are present. "Well-bred men lift their hats to their | wives upon meeting them in public place as deferentially as to any other lady. FfTake off your hat and keep it of in a place of amusement.
 Only ill-mannersd men wear their hats at meals in restaurants.
 ''It is not good form to doff your hat | \ less he should be very much your senior. l "Wear your hat as little as possible and l you may save yourself from badness"

 "That's travelling saleslady," remarked train hand. "Yes, she's 8 regular femal, drummer. She travels on the road regularly
 and makes herself quite at home in thu car. She's not over eighteen years old

 In all her travelling alone between Pitts
 burg, Philadelphia, Baltimore and Wash
 ington she is said to have suffered no annoy

 gers of her own sex, she carries herself wit , ladylike dignity, and yet her manner migh , seem tIife familiar to strangers unacquaint
